Description We will hike the Hopespring Trail, make a quick stop at the Heriot Ridge viewpoint, continue to the communication tower, descend and then climb up to the High Bluff viewpoint.  We will descend from there to the North Gowlland trail, perhaps visit the Aisle of 19 before climbing back up the Hopespring Trail to the vehicles.  We will be using maintained trails, less maintained trails and routes.  There will be wet places.  The forecast is not perfect.
